The controversy over the lyrics to"Blurred Lines" wasn't always clear to Pharrell Williams, but it is now.
In 2013 the popular song, performed by Robin Thicke, rapper T.I. and Williams, drew criticism for containing lyrics that some perceived to be promoting rape culture. In particular, the song's use of the phrase"I know you want it" dismissed the importance of consent. At the time, Williams told GQ, he"didn't get it," in part because he knew women who enjoyed the song and connected to its energetic spirit.
